Er, no thanks

If you want to celebrate the Queen's birthday with her in what will be one of the biggest street parties the country has ever seen, you will need to fork out £150.

Tickets to the Queen's 90th birthday party in The Mall, Westminster, are to be sold for the Patron's Lunch on 12 June, her grandson announced.

While most of the 10,000 guests will be from organisations associated with the monarch, 1,000 tickets will be released in a public ballot in February, Peter Phillips said. The winners will be able to buy the tickets from the event's website.

So, one of the richest women in the UK is charging her subjects to attend a birthday party? She has no shame.
